SPECIAL SCREENING: “ARREO”

On October 6, 2017, the Embassy of Arentina presented a special screening of Néstor “Tato” Moreno’s Argentine film Arreo. Arreo is a film that follows a family of proud Argentine gauchos on an arduous goat herding journey through the High Andes, capturing both their reflections on the threat “progress” poses to their livelihood, and the essence and beauty of upland rural life. The film unveils the refreshing, thought-provoking story of Eliseo Parada and his wife, transhumant goatherds of western Argentina. These true Andean gauchos must face both the challenge of seeing their pastoralist livelihood threatened by "progress," and the uncertainty of not knowing for how much longer their own sons will keep the generations-old family tradition. This production won nine international awards and has been viewed by over 10,000 people since its premiere in Argentina. The film was in Spanish with English subtitles.
